A simple Goodbyehttps://xoxobelledotco.wordpress.com/2014/03/31/a-simple-goodbye/

Thank you for bearing with me! You have all been amazing and I’m so glad that I had the opportunity to write a blog! I guess my final words would simply be, Don’t forget that there will always be a reason to keep going….

Try to find a pastime that interests you, or a specific event that gives you a boost of hope. There are so many thing that you could do to distract yourself from the outside world. A person I once cared for dearly once told me, “there will always be a reason for your life, and even if the day seems to be dark and cold, the light and warmth are a few steps away”.

You have to keep trying to endure and know that no matter what the situation may be, life has a plan for you. It may seem hard and difficult to understand, but there is always a reason for the darkness. People will walk into your life and walk out, it’s very simple. But one has to learn to find the motivation to keep going and understanding that everything will be fine.

Nothing in life comes easy, but there are many thing that are a bit harder to endure, but never impossible.

Find that hope, that joy, that no matter what happens, you know you can believe in to push you to the end.

So long and farewell!

Keep smiling, you’re beautiful

Have you ever thought about the power that words have? A simple word could make a person smile on a bad day. But, have you also thought about how another simple word could end a life in a split second? Sometimes you don’t need a knife or a gun to end a life, it could simply be because of one word. The abuse of words has been transformed into a hobby for many people. In order to feel satisfied with themselves and hide their insecurities, they feast on watching others suffer. This is called bullying, ever heard of it?

Most children and teenagers are victims of bully’s at an extremely young age. They meet that one kid that has a selective group of friends. These kids are usually the popular, rich kids or the kids from bad family situations. Nevertheless, these kids find the one kids that seems to be friendly and they simply don’t like by their external features. A bully begins with a simple glance around the room, they smell the fear and crawl to their prey.

At first, everything begins with ‘funny’ jokes that everyone laughs at, but the jokes become morea aggressive. The bully will do anything possible to find the darkest secrets inside of their victims hearts. There are no boundaries or limitations in humiliation. Slowly, the words grow to become an uncontrollable monster. At this point, the victim may be completely lost. And in many situations, the school administration may have overlooked the extremity of the problem. This innocent little one has no one to rely on for help, and that’s when the situation enters a stage of life or death.

No one wants to listen or believe what this kid says, for many reasons. But the child jumps to extreme conclusions, they begin to release their pain. But they ask themselves one questions, “what’s the point of life if all I feel pain”. From this point, their answers are deadly. A bullied child is most susceptible to eating disorders, self mutilations and suicide.

Do you understand the amount of people that have died due to bullying!? More than 40,000 people have committed suicide due to bullying…. 40,000 people every single year. Is that a big enough number for you to take a stand? Next time you see someone being bullied, don’t wait for someone else to get up and fight for what’s right…. Get rid of your pride of being judged and say something.

Until people understand the dangers of their words, this will never end. Ask yourself, how would you feel if someone close to you died because they had no one to seek refuge in…

So, what will you do?

Suuuuuuuuuuch old news. Oh well, get over it. It’s still important. These are the images that little girls (and boys!) will see and as we all know, media representation is very important. In order of best to worst, I present the new princesses.

1. Tiana (The Princess and the Frog)

Just an addition of glitter.

2. Rapunzel (Tangled)

Luckily the newer princesses seemed to suffer the least. She still looks dead inside to me.

3. Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)

Like her new hair, but the dress looks so much cheaper. Why did they take out the seams on the bodice? Her face is all wrong too.

4. Belle (Beauty and the Beast)

I like the color change quite a lot. The hair looks like a hot mess.

5. Ariel (The Little Mermaid)

This caused quite the uproar because her new dress is nowhere to be found in the movie. To be…

The first kiss seems to be a celebration of a coming of age. Many teenagers experience their first kiss when they’re 14 or 15 years of age, but it seems like a fundamental moment. Once you go through your first kiss, the word of love and intimacy opens up. There is no clarity about what it is, but it is a way of learning and experiencing love

2. The butterflies.

Do you remember your first kiss? Do you remember that funny feeling in your stomach? It was this odd feeling, as if something was flying around, right? Something like butterflies? There was nothing that would ever replace that feeling; it was wonderful and beautiful. The emotion was real, the pounding hearts beating excessively.

3. The setting

We’re so used to watching romantic films and seeing the generic scene with the kiss in the rain. However, when we experience our first kiss, it seems like that moment continues to replay in our heads. Plus, the location of where it happened becomes a very significant place in our heart. We may walk past it and smile.

4. Preparation

Whenever we have a significant other, we seem to attempt to make our appearance as exquisite as possible. There are several things done prior to a date. For example, girls will do their makeup and boys will wear their nicest jeans. These simple details become crucial before the moment, therefore, there is chemistry between the two.

5. Sweaty palms

Before a date, there are nerves. However, they are different nerves from the ones we have when we have a test. These are the nerves of a lover, the nerves that something will go wrong and they will push you away. The nerves that the lover is not accepting of who you are. Your hands begin to sweat and your heart pounds as they draw closer. You try to shake off the sweat, but the heat intensifies. Finally, your fingers touch their face and the time stops.

6. Time stops.

Your heads are touching, nothing else matters. The seconds continue, but at this moment, you feel like the entire world stood still to watch this moment. No one will interrupt this for you, and you wish that this moment could be captivated for the rest of your life. Your lips touch, this is it. The air is no longer brushing your cheek, in fact it wait for that kiss to begin.

7.A gasp of air.

A soft lips touches your lip and all of the emotions explode! It seems like your lips are dancing, there is a rhythm that they had never known, but are relatively comfortable with the steps. The moment continues and the memories grow inside. But then something happens, there is a pause. The excitement inside has caused the lungs to come to a halt, they need a simple gasp of air.

8. The smile

“Oh no”, you think, “he/she didn’t like it”. They break away from your grasp and your heart worries that they realized you are not ‘the one’, but then a smile crosses their face. That smile speaks volumes; all you can think about is how they enjoyed that simple moment. There is a sigh of relief that escapes your body, but after that moment, a boost of confidence is given to us. You know that that moment was not only especial for you, but it was significant to them too.

9. The beginning

That night you spend it remembering their touch, their gentleness and grace. Nothing seems to be disturbing you as your mind replays the memory, but it begins to fade as the relationship grows. There are so many kisses and embraces, that we forget about how it all began. It’s not until the end, that you remember that moment again, whether it brings you tears or a smile, it will always be there.

10. The end of a fairy tale

That kiss leads to a spark, a spark that may last for a long time or for a few days. But that kiss will never escape your mind, in fact, it will be the root of your love story. Many loves will come and go, but none of them will ever leave you with another first kiss. They may bring many new experiences and joys, but no one will ever be able to change that first kiss. A simple kiss opens to heart and exposes it to the love of others. The memory will be stored in our attic, but when we pull it out, it will be like being a teenager all over again.

Everyone has a pastime. Whether it is playing a sport or going shopping, we all have something that draws us away from the outside world. For me, makeup and hair have always been topics of interest to me, in fact, I use different makeup colors to show how I feel that day. My face becomes my canvas and my hands make magic with colors. In the end, the final piece is a little bit of my soul. It shows who I am, and how I release my emotions. For example, whenever I’m having a bad day, my makeup is relatively dark. The eye shadows used are black, dark brown, grey, and sometimes, dark blues. However, whenever I feel spontaneous or happy, the colors can be nudes, pinks, golds or light purple. It all depends on the day and my mood.

Nevertheless, one of my closest friends is one of the most talented makeup artist’s I’ve ever met.She has been doing her makeup for years, but every single time that she tries new techniques, it always comes out beautifully. She recently posted a video of her first makeup tutorial, which has reached over 200 views. She has such a simplicity to the forms of makeup that she has done, but she is a perfect example of a person with an amazing talent. Her pastimes have released stress for her as well, it an artsy form of therapy.

Check out her video, and find a pastime. Find something you love to do, and in the end, allows you to relax and remove yourself from any stress or problems.

Remember when you were little?
Everything was carefree, everything was beautiful.
It almost seems like it happened Once Upon A Dream.

One person who changes our live more than anyone else. No one else is able to change our perspective on life.
One person that destroys our heart with love and warmth. But in the end, that warmth can diminish or continue to grow. And if it grows, we learn to love deeply, and open our heart to the world.

However, that one person can also burn the love we hold. They may hurt the deepest core of the soul without any hesitation. No one will ever be able to replace them because there has been no one you will ever love with such strength. They are the reason for your existence and their presence becomes a vital source of light.

The warmth inside seems to fade with their absence. We try to play tricks on the mind and eventually, we pretend that they are with us in spirit, even though our subconscious is trying to bring us back to reality.

Is this love? Being able to care for someone so deeply, even though they are long gone. You will do anything to remind them that you love them, but in the end, it’s a worthless attempt. Many people will come into our lives, but no one is as special as that person. That one person.

One person who you poured your heart out too.

One person who wiped your tears away.

One person who reminded you that you needed to keep living.

One person who pulled you away from the horrors of the world.

One person that you will always truly love.

They called me beautiful, as radiant as a swan. A swan that was worshipped by the world.
But that’s a memory of the past. In fact, I don’t remember much of the past. It burns my soul to recall the events.
I see his face wherever I go. I hear her voice in an empty room.
The mirrors shatters as I enter a room.
My accomplishments are repressed thoughts because who cares, right?
But everyone says this was my fate.
I was destined to be the fallen angel.

We’re over halfway through the fourth series here in the states, and you know what that means? It’s time for our next installment of my ongoing series “The Hats of Downton Abbey.” (Original here, men’s hats here, season three here.)

We’re thoroughly into the 1920s now, and the hats are morphing to match.

Yup. Hats are out in the Jazz age. Not to say women aren’t wearing them to go out–they are. But the new big thing is the headband.
